Matías Ercole

Matías Ercole (Buenos Aires, 1987) is an Argentine contemporary visual artist living and working between Buenos Aires and Rome. His practice focuses on contemporary drawing, installation, and painting, exploring tensions between language, repetition, and symbolic construction. His work examines the relationship between text and image, as well as the interplay between gesture, irony, and conceptual structure. He holds a degree in Visual Arts from IUNA (now UNA). He was a fellow at the Centro de Investigaciones Artísticas (CIA) and completed residencies at HANGAR (Barcelona) and Espacio de Arte Contemporáneo (Montevideo). In 2018 he received the “Becar-Cultura” grant from Argentina’s Ministry of Culture to develop a project in Turin, Italy. Selected solo exhibitions include Monumento (Jorge López Gallery, Valencia, 2022), Futurismos (Casa Argentina, Rome, 2021), Te creo, te destruyo (Centro Cultural Recoleta, Buenos Aires, 2016), and Solo Hazlo (EAC, Montevideo, 2016). He has participated in international art fairs and exhibitions such as ARCO Lisboa, Drawing Now (Paris), arteBA, and the National Salon of Visual Arts at the Palais de Glace. He received the Viarco New Talent Prize (Drawing Room Lisbon, 2019), an Honorary Mention from Argentina’s National Arts Fund, and awards at the Buenos Aires Young Art Biennial.
